cleaning

I've been sizing and depriming before cleaning my brass in the tumbler. Should I tumble and clean before this step? Or is that just adding an extra step. I guess it comes down to the issue of whether I should resize "dirty" brass. Thanks

Upon 3 firings I decided to do an ultra sonic clean on my 6mm AR Turbo. I full length sized the brass and ultra sonic cleaned them extra good/long to get all the carbon out of the insides.I used a 1/2 water and half vinegar solution with a squirt of dish soap. I let em dry and loaded them up...

I saw the video of how to clean a scope by US Optics. They use compressed air and acetone. Recently I saw a shooter use compressed air on his S&B scope and it destroyed his scope. How would acetone not damage the coating on the lens? How do the hide members clean their rifle scopes? Lance

Just wondering what everyone is using for cleaning brass after being in a tumbler. I am afraid of getting scratches on the brass from the residue, and it building up in the die body. Thanks.

Anyone had any luck in cleaning the Jet cans? I recall something about GM engine cleaner that was thrown around. What about ultrasonic cleaning?

How often do you clean your handguns? I've heard of people who fire 5, 10, 15, 30k rounds through their guns without so much as a lube job. I field strip mine, scrub the barrel, wipe down the interior, and apply oil (as needed) every time I take mine out to shoot. Am I doing it wrong? I...

I think either I am a little slow or I might be on to something... I was thinking about the best way to clean the baffles in my can and just happened to glanced over at my little ultrasonic cleaner. I dropped it in just plain water and let turned it on for 15 mins. It came out as clean as new...

Seems that after cleaning all of the copper out of my barrel, it takes 15 to 20 rounds before my shots tighten back up. I will shoot between 1/2 and 3/4" groups after a good cleaning but once i get a few rounds thru the barrel, my groups will tighten up under 1/2" at 100 yards. Is it just me or...
